Folks,
during the last weeks we had quite a number of posts dealing with those dark times in
german history, which again and again are so very fascinating for a lot of people.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with these interests, but to my opinion sometimes
we are coming close to the edge of those sites dealing with flying saucers and ray guns.
I don’t want to offend anybody, but I would like to ask all forum users to check their
sources about those themes even more, than usual. Maybe I’m a little bit over suspicious
about “german secret projects” in the meantime, but I want to remind everybody here,
that the number of fakes, crude misin-terpretations and overestimations is unproportionally
high in this field and, contrary to most other countries, it seems that no “project” can be
too ambitioned, not to be taken for real by a surprisingly number of people. There certainly
were in fact more attempts to develop aircraft and weapons to turn the tide, we already
discussed, what probably quite often was the real reason for designers to come up with
a new “idea”.
There are still a lot of questions unanswered about german aviation, I just remind to the
question about the Bf 165, a type that really reached the mock-up stage, but nevertheless
is unknown today. Of course, it was a pre-war design, not intended to win the war alone and
this may reduce it’s fascination ..... but for all admirers of wartime german aviation, their still
is enough to do, without the need to turn their attention to supersonic suicide aircraft !
This forum here has a good reputation, I think, so we all should be aware, that just getting
near those above mentioned “sources” could do damage !
